Yes. once they realize that gambling won't be legalized here. Move? ONly if you're talking to Irving or some other north texas city...the mavs are NOT going to Vegas. Or some other City/region

Grimes just dropped 44 points a few days ago. Martin has yet to play a single game. But hey, maybe we'll get KD. I'm sure stars are lining up to hear offers from the Mavs, what with all the money we've saved from the Luka trade. /s Edited March 4Mar 4 by satyanash

March 4Mar 4 32 year old Anthony Davis played less than 3 quarters for the Mavs before getting hurt and missing the rest of the season. #culture I wish all the worst on this ownership and GM.

March 5Mar 5 Four year max for Ky? His work ethic and absolute dedication to his craft, it’s cut from the cloth of greats. I know it, I lived it, and I see the same ferocity and passion in him that I saw in (Hall of Fame guard) Kobe (Bryant)," Harrison said, alluding to his past work with Bryant for Nike.

March 5Mar 5 21 minutes ago, Rex Kramer said: It’s amazing. I’ve never seen one person take a franchise from near an all time high to an all time low in 7 months’ time. And then the organization has the temerity to fucking jack prices up? I wouldn’t say Mavs are dead forever but it sure seems that way. I was gonna get a suite for my son’s birthday party, and spend a pretty penny to do so. Now? I wouldn’t piss on the Mavs if they were on fire. And they’re on fire. Dumont and Harrison had an unbelievably destructive last 9 months. And it’ll certainly kill the team for the next few years. They were stacked for the next 7 years, now, as is, they are done for at least that long. They have one way out, which they won’t take- trade Davis, Christie, Gafford, Lively, Kyrie and Dinwiddie for as many picks as they can get 25-30 and tank. Nico’s 3 year window is already closed.

March 5Mar 5 What has to happen to prove that Nico is a buffoon to those that employ him? Complete failure of his “plan” seems absolute and certain. But will that be enough? Will he still live and work in Dallas come June? Do they care? Are we just hockey-town now? I guess the Rangers have some powder if things look good at the deadline. The Mavs are going to take a 5 year nap. I doubt Kyrie or Street Clothes are on this team in 2 years. And I know they don’t have draft capital to build. They’re fucked.

It’s a solid plan. There is at least a 50% chance that one of the picks would be half as good as Luka. The 2038 draft has some serious ballers I’ve heard.

March 5Mar 5 I don't think we'll ever fully understand until a book is written about this 10+ years from now when Nico is out of a job and needing money. If Dumont really was interfering, Nico should have just resigned and said he wasn't going to be a part of something so unbelievably stupid that it would kill his career. I'm not letting Nico off the hook, even if the owners were involved. If Kidd really wasn't involved in this decision, he should bail after the season is over. I would personally have zero issue if he quit after not being consulted about this. If he was consulted, he needs to be canned as well. I find it hard to believe Dumont sparked this idea. He certainly signed off on it, but no way he thought trading Luka would be good for business. This is the part of this that puzzles me the most. I just can't figure out why anyone would sign off on it. You don't have to be a basketball person to know this was a bad move. Regardless, someone needs to nut up and face the music on this eventually and heads need to roll. The fact that they are about to lose a shit ton of revenue is going to be just cause for someone to lose their job. My guess is Nico is out of here by the summer.

This move was horrible for the Mavs and a betrayal of our city but good for the Lakers and therefore good for the league and its sponsors and broadcasters NBA GM is not the top for him, just a steppingstone.

This isn't fucking hard. Grab some solid pieces and then at least one superstar to build around. Look at the Lakers, they have two and a half superstars to build around: LeBron, Luka, Reeves. Dallas just needs to find a superstar

March 6Mar 6 Me too @Rex Kramer. Those teams were bad and often both unlucky and poorly run, but at least they understood that the franchise derives its value from the good will and support of the fans and the city. These new owners and management seem indifferent to our good will, or maybe the value of the franchise to them is about the leverage they can get from it for something bigger, like Casino gambling. Either way- I loved this team for 45 years, including the 90s. For the first time ever, it doesn’t feel like the franchise loves me back. Edited March 6Mar 6 by Bozo_Casanova
March 6Mar 6 If GM Rex Wilson gets to make the decisions I’m thinking something like this. Hope OKC has a shitty playoffs. See if I can do a AD for Hartenstein and J Williams (the one who scores) and some draft picks. OKC has more than viable roster spots. Tell Kyrie thanks for being great in Dallas. If he wants to opt in cool but we will trade you near the deadline hopefully to a preferred team of his choice. Get back young player(s) and a pick ideally. Trade Klay Thompson. We all known this is not what he signed up for. Send him to a potential contenders and get back what you can. Start the rebuild around Lively, hypothetical J Williams, PJ, Christie, and draft picks.

March 7Mar 7 Listened to a Chris manning podcast. Per Rachel Nichols: *AD came back too early but it was his choice. He took this personal and wanted to make Nico look good *Kyrie injury was predictable. Oft injured player leading league in minutes at 32? These were avoidable 2025: dead 2026: Kyrie is back after the ASB playing himself into shape 2027: Mavs make a run with 34 year old AD and 35 year old Kyrie (if you resign him) yea Nico you pulled a fast one on Pelinka.

March 7Mar 7 Can you imagine how bad it is to work for the Mavs doing social media, ticket sales, sponsorship or any part of the operation right now? They probably had a town hall a couple weeks ago and told people things would start getting better and instead they have gotten that much worse. The anger is more intense, everyone gives you shit, and you aren’t making any money. It’s a death spiral type situation.
